Black Bear incident in Yokote 杉目 (Oct 15)

Description

While working outdoors, two bears—a mother and cub—appeared about five meters away, measuring roughly 1 m and 30 cm. The cub approached within about 3 meters, but both disappeared into the shrubs. About 150 m to the nearest house. (This is the detailed information from the previously posted Bear Dash.)
